Stealing a moment! 

Thanks, Carol, for the birthday greetings. I don't know how you found time what with watching fledglings, but I do appreciate your thoughtfulness. No, Donna, it was not exactly a vacation. We had a big leak in the upstairs bathroom last week and ended up staying with our daughter to avoid the noise and mess of the industrial fans and dehumidifiers. All is dry at last and we get our living room ceiling repaired and repainted today, and upstairs bathroom ceramic tiles replaced tomorrow. THEN we will celebrate my birthday!

Thanks, MAK and Donna for the birthday wishes. I was away for a while so am just now seeing them. Donna, that was an especially beautiful card!

Thank you Dot, hope you were away for a Vaca! 

Update on Dori & Louis’ eyases that were relocated because of building construction-

http://www.post-gazette.com/sports/outdoors/2018/06/21/Pittsburgh-peregrine-falcon-chicks-resettled-Pennsylvania-Game-Commission-wildlife-rehabilitation/stories/201806210103

Two of the four chicks died at the rehab facility. The cause of their deaths was unknown, but the Game Commission said one chick had parasitic lesions on its lungs and it is possible both chicks died from infections. The Game Commission said chick mortality is not uncommon, and about half of all birds die before fledging. 

Love this one! I think it's Mike  

Yesterday

Update from Duncan Mill. Today was a MARVELous day indeed! First thing in the morning, I found LOKI on the ground directly below the nest ledge. When I arrived 3 juvies were on the nest ledge, but thanks to Quest sitting on the ledge below and looking down, I was able to figure out where #4 was. Loki had a chance to rest all day and is being released on the roof tonight. Just before I was to leave around 6 pm, THOR decided to fledge and was found walking the ledge off the upper parking lot between #220 and #240. Great team effort rescue and he is also being released with his brother tonight.

Yesterday, a banding took place for the male juvie from Mount Sinai hospital. (named CHASE, X/05) And it took place in the office that looks onto the nest ledge! Thank you to the owner of the unit who let us use his office for banding ... what a bonus to see a different perspective of Quest's nest ledge too!! Cheers, Luci

DC seems more concerned towards CR
